Paraguard : ParaGard is a T-shaped intrauterine device with a mono filament thread to aid in detection and removal of the device. The T-frame is made of polyeth- ylene with barium sulfate to aid in detecting the device under x-ray. ParaGard also contains copper: approximately 176 mg of wire coiled along the vertical stem and a 68.7 mg collar on each side arm. There is no nickel in the Paraguard. DrG
